Include model relationships in json response using Eloquent and Laravel 5

Question

I have a Model setup as so:

Answer 1

Okay I believe this is what you're looking for ...

Upload.php (no changes here)

hasOne('App\Models\Mime', 'mime');
    }
}

Then you have your Mime model

Mime.php

if you do this for a test I believe you should see the type

routes.php

Route::get('test', function() {
    $upload = \Upload::with('mime')->first();
    // return $upload //here would return it as JSON I'm pretty sure!
    return $upload->mime->type;
});
